1. Lincoln Remote Start: Comfort Before You Even Step Inside 🤳
Few features feel as luxurious (and practical) as the Lincoln remote start system. With just a tap on your key fob or the Lincoln Way™ app on your smartphone, you can start your vehicle from a distance.
Why does this matter? Because life doesn’t wait for the weather to be perfect. Remote Start lets you:
Warm up in winter: Step into a pre-heated cabin and defrosted windows.
Cool down in summer: Circulate cool air before you even open the door.
Save time: Skip scraping frost or waiting for the AC to kick in.
Unlike basic systems, Lincoln Remote Start can also integrate with climate pre-conditioning adjusting seat heating, steering wheel heating, and even rear defrosters automatically. This is more than convenience, it’s comfort on command.

2. Lincoln Adaptive Cruise Control: A Smarter Way to Drive 🚦
At the heart of Lincoln driver assist technology is Lincoln Adaptive Cruise Control, a system that takes traditional cruise control to the next level.
This feature uses radar and camera sensors to monitor traffic ahead, automatically adjusting your speed to maintain a safe following distance. In stop-and-go traffic, Adaptive Cruise Control can even bring the vehicle to a complete stop and then resume driving when traffic moves again.
Key benefits of Lincoln Adaptive Cruise Control:
Stress-free highway driving – Maintain speed without constant adjustments.
Safety-focused – Built-in sensors help reduce the risk of tailgating.
Stop-and-Go Functionality – Keeps you moving even in congested city traffic.
In higher trims, Adaptive Cruise Control often works in tandem with other Lincoln driver assist features like Lane Centering, making it a cornerstone of Lincoln’s vision for easier, more confident driving.
3. Lincoln Driver Assist: A Comprehensive Suite of Confidence 🛞
Beyond cruise control, Lincoln’s advanced driver-assist systems bring together multiple features that work in harmony. The Lincoln Co-Pilot360™ suite includes:
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
Blind Spot Detection with Cross-Traffic Alert
Lane-Keeping System
Rear View Camera with Dynamic Guidelines
Optional upgrades build on this foundation, giving drivers access to Adaptive Cruise Control, Evasive Steering Assist, and Intelligent Active Park Assist.
Collectively, these systems deliver an extra set of eyes on the road; ideal for families, commuters, or anyone who wants a safer, more relaxing drive.
4. Lincoln Phone as a Key: Leave the Fob Behind 📱
Forget fumbling for your keys. With Lincoln Phone as a Key, your compatible smartphone becomes your access point to the vehicle.
Using the Lincoln Way™ app, you can:
Lock and unlock the doors.
Start and drive the vehicle.
Pop the trunk.
Customize driver settings.
Phone as a Key also allows multiple profiles, so different drivers in your household can step in and have the car adjust automatically to their preferred seat position, mirror angles, and climate settings.
For buyers searching for a Lincoln for sale that seamlessly integrates with their digital lifestyle, this feature is a game-changer.
5. Lincoln Rejuvenate Feature: Wellness Meets Technology ✨
Exclusive to Lincoln’s newest luxury models, the Lincoln Rejuvenate feature elevates the in-car experience beyond transportation. It’s designed to create a wellness environment while you’re parked, perfect for a recharge during a busy day.
Here’s what you get when you activate Rejuvenate:
Ambient lighting shifts to calming tones.
